The Groundwater Network combines community, learning, and collective action to help leaders drive systemic change.

What We Do

Groundwater Network is a nonprofit project that supports our growing network of alumni and partners. We are a community of practice and power made up of leaders who work to increase their personal impact, address the structural and cultural roots of inequity, and bring the full weight of their influence, and organizations to bear in creating a world where everyone can thrive.

Who Our Members Are

We welcome anyone who is committed to the purpose and uniting commitments of the Groundwater Network and who has a demonstrated proficiency in using an equity-focused analysis rooted in data-based outcomes of systems, historical and structural literacy, and the impacts of differential and compound advantage. We represent a wide-reaching organizing strategy that has the capacity to stitch together efforts to fight for and win a world where everyone can thrive. Joining the network isn’t a passive action — it’s a commitment to participating in a movement ecosystem.

Our work is rooted deeply in building the broad-based coalitions and institutional muscle necessary for deep and lasting change. Through all of this heavy, necessary work, we remain committed to retaining and honoring our humanity. It’s making a difference — right now.
